A small crowd of people gathered, Tuesday morning to celebrate the unveiling of downtown's fourth stylish bicycle rack, donated by Teresa and Terry Caves.
Jana Schmader, executive director of Downtown Wichita Falls Development said this unveiling has a bit of a Valentine's Day theme because Terry's first gift to Teresa was a bicycle.

Schmader said the project has expanded from its original concept of four downtown bike racks, "So this started out, originally just being four bike racks that we were going to do with the symbols that we really thought really represent Wichita Falls, which are, downtown brand, Hotter'N'Hell, Sheppard Air Force Base, and Midwestern State Univerisity."

Schmader said they started getting phone calls from people that want to support the effort, "Just in 2019 alone, we have eight bikes on the schedule.
Schmader said they will unveil another one around Saint Patrick's Day, "and another one around Cajun Fest." Schmader said the themes will continue to be meaningful to Downtown Development as an organization and to Wichita Falls in general.
